These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 I'm in over my head I need some very specific help. Hopefully in steps to achieve the end. Here is my laundry list of problems. I have searched the directions for limewire and read the forums. I must not know what I am reading, because I can't find answers. 1. I am using a Toshiba P25-S609, P4, 3.0 Gig, Win XP, This laptop is designed as an Entertainment Center. Lots of HD room. 2. Ursula recommended D/L a bunch of file converters from a link she has. I did that and can not access the converters. 3. I have a DSL connection, I configured limewire as recommended by LeeWare in his thread "maximing upload download success limewire." Why are my downloads going at a snails pace, 0-25 kbs? 4. What is the deal with .avi? how do I get my Media Player 9 to play this and other extensions it doesn't recognize? 5. Who are all the idiots out there who say a download is one thing, then when you play it, watch out! It is not what you expect. 6. I am interested in Pro, but I have to get this working first. 7. I did D/L some movies, such a Pirates of the Carribbean, but the quality is poor. The picture was very small and when I maximixed it, it became very poor and dark with color boxes on the right side. When you download movies, are they all small pictures like that, I mean 3x4 inches. Thanks in advance for your help. Dawgfan56  |

| Codecs... Yupp, that's the word... THE most simple way to solve 99.99% of "It won't play right..." problems is to Download and install Nimo Codecs Just click on the same which you will find in my 'sig' below... Do not install the 'beta' version unless you really know what you are doing... The 'basic' release version is fine... There is very little to do in regards the install... It is very easy. Hope you do try this and come back with a 'report' ... p.s. IF you do re-install or 'upgrade' Windows Media Player... (And some other players packages, also), than you will need to re-install Nimo...

| You want "Build 8" If one of the mirror sites is busy or with problems, just try another or wait one hour. I have installed both the Basic and the Beta on XP machines... Many times... Zero problems...  |

| Default magnet link handler\avi2mpeg OK. Thanks I'll try that in the morning. Do you know what a "default magnet link handler" is? Limewire is asking me if I want LM to be that. I have done search and help. Can't find an asnwer. I am running P4, 3.0 Gig, Win XP, Laptop configures specifically for entertainment. Thanks. I really am trying to figure this stuff without asking. I still can not figure out the avi2mpeg stuff. I can't find the executables. Will avi play on Realplay, and if so, is there a reason you cannot do that? Thanks again for your patience. |

| Thanks for all the Help, you tried. Thanks for all the help. Everyone who replied, thank you. I am running up the white flag and surrendering. I just don't understand this stuff. Choosing a magnet handler that will automatically Dl a magnet, OK, I bite, what's a magnet. Thanks anyway, I'm glad there are some folks out there that understand this stuff. Dawgfan56 Adios |

| Oh yes! So many terms to learn, since the development of p2p is mostly in the vocabulary of the developers. Still, you've come a long way seeing how long your question list was. Best wishes with whatever you try next--or just forget about the troubles and use whatever you can. btw, magnets sound complex, but all they really are is link to a file. Unlike a link to a Web Page, magnets link to a file shared by, say, LimeWire. See this link http://www.magnetdb.com/ (I list a little test magnet there--I'd like to get to the point where I can just email magnet links to my friends) |
